Reply To: Traffic dropped after indexing spike?

Honestly, To be fair, honestly, yeah, that’s exactly the kind of thing that makes me roll my eyes at Google. I’ve had the same crap happen where it looks like a little indexing win, then traffic just slides right after like the site got flagged for existing. Usually it’s not even the pages u’d expect either, it’s some random junk getting indexed first and then the real money pages start acting weird. I wouldn’t trust the burst at all unless it actually holds for a bit. Google loves doing these fake little “progress” moves and then undoing half of it two days later. Pretty normal now, which is annoying as hell.
